Will Work for Food Local photographer trades photos for food for the homeless

By Monica Stark

editor@valcomnews.com

“If you can only make a couple of people feel a lil better each day then do it.”

- Scott Duncan

Sacramentan Scott Duncan loves the art of photography and especially enjoys taking pictures of food for restaurants. Recently his talents have afforded him to trade photos for food for the homeless. Earlier this fall, he photographed a bunch of food at restaurants and they sent him home with extras, which he gave to homeless people in town. He says the result of seeing their faces as they get free amazing food has spawned a group Facebook page, “Will work for food”.

His Dec. 2 posting described a lunch he shared in Sutter’s Fort Park with a man named Eric. “We had a few good laughs while he demolished a salmon BLT from INK. His buddy Pat woke up and joined us dancing around laughing at how good the food was. If you can only make a couple of people feel a lil better each day then do it. I’m just glad that my life is exactly how it is so I can make the time to do simple little things like this,” Scott wrote.

Sober since 2004, Scott quit his job to pursue photography, which has been also possible since he manages the building he lives in, giving him a free apartment and enough money to live on. “Photography is my passion and I’m glad I found a way to use that to help people when I can,” he said.

From salmon BLTs, to a tostada salad, fish tacos, some nachos from INK, to prawns, fish ‘n chips, popcorn shrimp, “etc etc etc” from Railroad Fish ‘n Chips, Scott has maybe a doz-

en or so business owners hitting him up to contribute to this side project.

He photographs food anyhow for Downtown Grid and other freelance work. With “Work for food” he’ll go in and shoot up to three food items they’d like to showcase on a website for specials in trade for the food which he drops off wherever he finds some homeless that need it. “(I) usually just ride my bike through a park in midtown and find somebody,” he said.

Scott bought his first digital camera in 2006 and spent lots of time snapping photos of his foot on the front porch until he figured out the camera, then he shot bands every weekend trying to get his name out there, which is how Tim Foster picked him up and he started shooting for Midtown Monthly.

Midtown Monthly was his first major gig shooting most of the content and all of the covers for a couple years. In addition, he has taken photos for Capitol Weekly, Downtown Grid, Coldwell Banker, Steve Hansen campaign photos, photos for Christopher Cabaldon, Go Raw Foods, Jimmy’s Barber Garage and Mraz Brewing Company.

While he also shoots weddings, events, portraits and more, with a smile, he said he mostly loves shooting food because “I usually get to eat it afterward.” That is unless he shares it.

Donations needed for baby basket drive for new moms at Sacramento Life Center As local women and teens spend the holidays preparing to become new moms in the coming year, the Sacramento Life Center is holding its annual Baby Basket Drive through Dec. 31 so it can continue to provide a basket of needed items to every patient who gives birth in 2016. Donations can be made online at www.saclife.org. Gifts can be made in any increment, but a donation of $50 buys one basket, which includes formula, diapers, newborn clothes, pacifiers and more.

“Our patients may come in for a pregnancy test, but they leave with a strong support system and resources,” said Marie Leatherby, executive director. “We want to encourage women and teen girls and their partners that they are capable of caring for a child, and we understand the hurdles that they often face – sometimes as simple as wondering if they will be able to afford diapers. These baby baskets give new moms a boost of confidence and needed supplies.”

The Sacramento Life Center’s mission is to offer compassion, support, resources and free medical care to women and couples facing an unplanned or unsupported pregnancy. The Sacramento Life Center’s licensed Sac Valley Pregnancy Clinic includes a primary clinic and two Mobile Medical Clinics that provide all services for free, including pregnancy tests, STD tests, ultrasounds, peer counseling for men and women, education and resource referrals. The nonprofit also offers a schoolbased teen education program, a 24-hour hotline and a program for women seeking support after having an abortion.

American River College field trip exposes San Juan Unified students to skilled trade industry By the San Juan Unified School District

Students and teachers from several San Juan Unified schools got career advice and rare hands-on training in welding, electronics and construction during a recent interactive field trip to American River College.

The college’s Workforce Development Office organized the “Pathway to Paycheck” event to expose high school students from across

the region to local employers, skilled trades and the educational pathways available to get them there.

Students enrolled in career and technical education pathways at San Juan, Rio Americano and El Camino Fundamental high schools and several of their teachers attended the event.

American River College President Thomas Greene encouraged students to explore career pathways as a See ARC, page 7

way to help focus their future goals.

“It is OK to not know exactly what you want to do, but it is not OK to not do anything about it,” he said.

Throughout the event, students met with local industry professionals and familiarized themselves with the college’s labs and facilities while interacting with professors.

Students listened attentively as the professionals talked about their fields and job opportunities related to them.

David Yee, assistant manager of the Sacramento Mu-

nicipal Utility District, explained that there are many kinds of jobs that make up his company, allowing opportunities for employees with a variety of skills and interests. “ The company is much more than just the electricians seen at houses,” he said. “We have career opportunities in the legal office, telecommunications, and customer service to name a few.”

The daylong event included periodic rotations for students and their teachers to experience welding, electronics and construction. Each room included a college professor to guide the students through proj-

ects such as making a toolbox and a strobe light. Professors also explained what it takes to be successful in their field and what American River College students do to prepare.

Pre-apprenticeship professor Rich Stoker shed light on his classroom curriculum and the importance of the construction field. “ I teach employability skills like constructionrelated math, tool usage and identification and help students get ready for interviews,” Stoker said. “ We are the backbone of America. We keep the roads working, the buildings safe, and pipes in the ground.”

El Camino Fundamental High School senior Robert McWalters admired his newly finished toolbox as he explained why he wants to get into construction.

“I’ve been doing this my whole life,” said McWalters.

“I worked on job sites with my dad, welding and working on pipes.”

The rooms erupted with excitement and laughter as the students worked on their projects.

“My favorite part was using the hammer,” said El Camino Fundamental High School senior Bryan Mendoza-Ramirez.

El Camino Fundamental teacher Ryan Tompkins said he was glad his students got

to experience time in a lab, given they rarely have that opportunity at school.

Teri Munger, American River College’s SB 1070 CTE Transitions Project director, said she hopes this event will be a template for more regional efforts to connect more students with career pathways.

“How Engines Have Been Hopped-Up Through History” Dec. 12: Since the era of the Model T, folks have been searching for more power from their engines.

gine parts and concepts including cylinder heads, compression ratios, hi-lift cams, fuels, superchargers, or a combination of any of these automotive engineering topics. For more information, contact Andrew Powers at 442-6802 or email: education@calautomuseum.org. The California Automobile Museum is located at 2200 Front St. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Third Thursday Series: Sketch & Sip Class (21+ only) Dec. 17: the Sketch & Sip class, students will learn the basics of sketching several different automobiles. Ron Vogel, an auto styling devotee and a beloved docent of ours, starts the night off with a 3-step side

view of a 1937 Bugatti Type 57s, a true modern design exhibiting wild Streamlining features and a great starting point for sketching the night away. He carries on the night with wine in his hand, and brings us to the floor to talk about design changes that have been made through the decades. Like the 1955 Ford Thunderbird which experimented with a wrap around wind shield and also featured exhausts which exited through the rear valence and small turbines up front in the grill. The second design will be a mid 2000s Japanese hardtop drawn in perspective view, in just six easy steps. And the final design, if you are not tipsy by then, will be a 1976 Corvette drawn in five steps. This is a modified perspective technique that is much easier than the normal technique used by designers, and we can do it freehand. Artists will practice pencil shading techniques on the perspective design and may do a color on the Bugatii drawing if time permits. You will get 8-and-ahalf by 11-inch handouts of the steps that you can take along with you for future reference! Mr. Vogel will be drawing along with you on a whiteboard and Ann Baum will help you as you draw. We will also have a large view of the steps on an easel.

This is strictly a 21 and over class. Fees are $20 for museum members and $25 for non-members. Want to save on this class and all our classes? Become a Gearhead member now Questions? Reviews? Contact Education Coordinator Andrew Powers at <education@calautomusem.org>.
